Annefia's Balcony: October 2009
http://annefiasbalcony.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. Here in Sweden we celebrate All Hallows' Eve (Allhelgonaafton). This is a much more serene and solemn holiday than Halloween where we light candles on our loves one's grave to honor and remember them. These days I'm living too far away from my graves to visit them so I've lit a "grave candle" on my balcony instead. This is for all my lost loved ones but especially for my grandmother and my three cats Ronja, Viran and especially Bissen that I lost this year. I love you all!

Annefia's Balcony: Sooooo many colors!
http://annefiasbalcony.blogspot.com/2010/05/sooooo-many-colors.html
Saturday, May 29, 2010. I must admit it, the vivid mix of colors have made me a little bit nervous. Have I taken it too far? Will it look too messy? Pale pinks petunias combined with the pale blue trailing lobelias WOULD be more my style. It's not that I don't like the colors, of course I do, I've bought them myself, it's the amount of them that had me worried. And besides, it's the just balcony, should I grow tired of all the colors I can just go back to more subtle pastels next summer. Today was a love...

Sunday, May 30, 2010. Hap-pea birthday to the blog! Today has been the blogs 1 year birthday! It's been a really fun adventure so far. Blogging about the balcony inspires me to make it even better and more beautiful and it also gives me an opportunity to actually use all those photos that I take. LOL I also look forward very much to look back on last summer and reading the old entries, month for month to compare with this year. Sprouted peas, waiting to fulfill this destiny. If I could wish for one thing...

Annefia's Balcony: July 2009
http://annefiasbalcony.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. Pelargoniums and Sweet Peas. I've been a bit busy these last couple of days. No, not too busy to water my darlings this time, but too busy to update the blog with the photos I took two days ago. Radish flowers. They've got pretty flowers but next. Year I think I'll focus on their roots instead. LOL. The outside (the orange nasturtiums/krasse in the background. Belong to my neighbor though) See the hanging radish flower? RED Runner Bean buds? They're supposed to be WHITE! I've bee...

Annefia's Balcony: June 2009
http://annefiasbalcony.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Last night/evening I did some maintenance work on the balcony. You know weeding, watering, removing dead flowers, turning pots and things like that. Because of the heat wave you can only do this late in the evening when things have cooled down a bit and lately I've been too busy "mini vacationing" to do more than watering so I was a bit behind in my chores. And yes, I know there is (or rather WAS) weeds in the Deadly Nightshade/Belladonna pot *blushes* It's gone now though! As you...

Annefia's Balcony: Radish seeds!
http://annefiasbalcony.blogspot.com/2009/10/radish-seeds.html
Tuesday, October 27, 2009. I just wanted to show you the result of the strange radish fruits I got this year, seeds for next spring! Hopefully I will actually get some radishes then as well. LOL). The seeds (with some dry husk flakes still left in *ooops*). This show a little but better how much I got, it's more than it looks though. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Feel free to comment in Swedish if you want to). Grape Hyacinths and Heather. I long for spring!

Sunday, May 31, 2009. Pytte - the flower fairy. Meet my little friend Pytte! Doesn't she look like a little flower fairy? It's so fun taking photos of her on the balcony so expect to see more of them in the future. Pytte's showing off the tomato. Pytte in the hydrangea, just her colors. No mommy, this isn't a strawberry! Round and red and you can EAT them, this is a flower! Gardening (or in this case "balconing") isn't just about work. You need to remember to rest and smell the flowers as well. And since...

Annefia's Balcony: September 2009

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Decay - This weekend. What a difference a week can make! We've had some cold nights, still above freezing according to the thermometer but it wouldn't surprise me if we've had a touch of night frost. The Runner Beans/Rosenbönor didn't like this AT ALL. The Hydrangea is still looking fine. Look how tall this red pelargonium is! Yummy Yellow Pear tomatoes! The leaves have started to change color now. And yes, of course I have SOME fall plans as well. Links to this post. I wil...
